Gail Carson Levine was born and grew up in New York City. She has been writing all her life. She and her husband, David, collaborated on a children's musical that was produced by a theater in Brooklyn. Gail graduated from The City University of New York in 1969.
As a child, Gail wanted to be an actress, writer, or artist. She started writing her first book when she was in one of her writing classes. She also writes stories while traveling by train.
Gail is also an administrator and helps people on welfare to find jobs. Currently, she resides in Brewster, New York.
Gail Carson Levine is our hero because she has inspired us to believe in magic, which is a great escape in this mad world. People who read her books can find positive and fundamental values to live their lives with a different perspective. We especially like the book Ella Enchanted.
